Just as I please

Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Sometimes you find a picture that just sums everything up in one shot. Here it is; this is me. I'm sitting in the grass looking at the empty landscape in front of my eyes. Floral dress on, ankle boots and little bag. Hair loose and wild with a couple of flowers for good measure. Yes, that's me and how I like to think of myself.

After four and a half years of looking at photographs of myself several times a week it's still quite weird. Does it ever get less weird? I don't tend to explain the concept of fashion blogging to people that aren't already in the know.... it sounds dreadfully narcissistic when you say you take photographs of yourself and share them on the internet. It's an odd thing to say about yourself. But my passion for clothes has always been there, sometimes worn on my sleeve and other times just bubbling steadily below the surface.

I guess, now that is completely irrelevant, but nonetheless memorable.You are right, creating outfits is fun and dressing entirely the way you desire is the most fun I've ever had.I recieved a odd comment last week at a family bbq - along the lines of 'what do you look like, you look as if you are on holiday' (NOTE - I was wearing a swirl print maxi dress, flower in my hair, and treasured elephant pendant)

At first I was a little taken a back, but then I realised that I was happy. And I felt both confident and happy in my outfit that day. It didn't matter!Style is free. x x x

Monday morning blues have become something of a quagmire over the past few months. Weekends have flown by in a whirl of fun and freedom bu...
